The week began with a warm reception arranged by the Belgian hosts.

All partner teams presented their schools, project activities, and the work their students have carried out so far.

This allowed participants to better understand each other’s educational contexts and project contributions.

A full-day trip to Brussels gave students the opportunity to participate in a city rally in small mixed teams.

At Belexpo, partners explored interactive exhibits focusing on climate change, sustainable cities, and the role of young people in shaping the planet’s future.

Back in Gosselies, CAL led an engaging workshop on overconsumption, encouraging participants to reflect on daily habits and global consumer culture.
A screening of “Dark Waters” (Todd Haynes, 2019) was followed by a panel debate involving all partner schools—an activity that fostered deep reflection on environmental justice, activism, and corporate accountability.

The international group also visited the Gileppe Dam.

They learned about water resource management, renewable energy, and the environmental impact of large-scale engineering projects.

This visit strengthened the scientific and ecological dimension of the project.

Students were welcomed by Belgian host families, providing a warm intercultural experience.

​

Shared meals, school activities, and informal gatherings helped strengthen friendships across countries and encouraged communication in multiple languages.

The Gosselies meeting successfully brought together four countries united by a shared goal: understanding how creativity, technology, and education can contribute to a more sustainable planet.

I expresses sincere thanks to all partners for their collaboration, hospitality, and inspiring ideas. We look forward to continuing this meaningful work in Romania.
